Bumped have a search mate plenty written on it
it ranges from a 3ltr replacement rattle gun special
to a full body off Dura Max with 6 tunes on the dash.
Depends how many $$$$$$$$$$ you have and where you are
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
In Europe this is a really popular swap Steve
BMW m57 3.0L 6 cyl.
Returns 280bhp with a tune.
It drops straight in with a gearbox to engine adaptor plate!

Hi Steve, as threedogs said there's been a few build threads on here that might give you some ideas (mechanical/drivetrain/engine conversion). But the question really is; what do you use the patrol for and what characteristics of the 3 litre are you wanting to improve?

Hello from Under Down Under!
G'day Stevemac,
Personal opinion below, have mucked around with 3.0L's & Chevy's-Diesel&Petrol's nothing as exotic as you've suggested but :-) !
Driving the Mrs near stock 4.2TD again today took me back to what a standard donk can & should do, no overheating, descent torque, stressless day hauling nag's.
Some blokes here on NP.com.au are now pulling serious stats out of 4.2's with simple bolt ons/tweaks :-) !
Keep an eye on AB's 4.2'big 'T' stats forthcoming, it will smash my yanky weld in apart for sure :-) !!
Hiya MB, You I'll talk too but that AB fella is still in the dog house...
I kinda agree, well, I def agree about stock TD42 comments but I have yet to see a high horse TD42 have anything like the same reliability.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

some good food for thought fellas thanks for all your comments. I drive a standard td 4.2ute now and am in a real quandry as to what to replace the vehicle with. A friend bought a 3 liter 2015 ute brand new ute and it shit its self towing his van, not that I am contemplating a toyota but I was away at easter with a chap with a seventy five series with an LS1 alloy holden V8 it was a very immpressive job and went very well. This has really got me thinking on options.
